Call of Duty: WWII – how an indie classic inspired the latest game
There are certain places you'd expect the developers of a well-known military shooter to look for inspiration. What you perhaps don't expect is for the team behind the latest Call of Duty title to count among their influences an elegiac cooperative indie game about the meaning of life. You don't expect them to play Journey. But according to Michael Condrey, co-founder of Sledgehammer Games, the San Francisco studio behind Call of Duty: WWII, that's exactly what they did. The next instalment of Activision's military behemoth takes the action back to the second world war, returning to the origins of the series.
